RASTUS - Oil rig fire ...

[MikeBjerum]

Couldn't they have saved a lot of time and paper by just taking out a memo pad and saying

It's BP's fault!

I had the same thought when I read it. Trans Oceanic may have conducted an exemplary investigation, I don't know.
But they are not going to accept any blame or liability by saying "our oversight of our investment sucked, it was our own fault".
BP has already passed the blame to their suppliers and sub contractors.
Any Govt investigation willing be tainted by BO's anti drilling agenda.
Will any one investigate who does not have an axe to grind ?
If so when can we expect to hear their report ?

Worth a few minutes. They failed to mention and discuss the failure of the quick disconnect system that would have allowed them to part from the riser and sail away. That panel was damaged in the initial blast, part of the OIM's testimony.

THIS IS TRANSOCEANS (DRILLING CONTRACTOR) VERSION OF WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE BP BLOW OUT AND CONTAINMENT.
